The Wrestler Footage
Yesterday we were talking about the new Darren Aronofsky film The Wrestler; today we have a clip from production thanks to our friends at slashfim!
This looks great! We have some surly looking’ 80’s wresters, wraslin’ with a ladder, a pane of glass and I think I can see barb wire to the right. The set for this shot looks fantastic and the crowd is going bananas! This film looks better by the minute!
I used to be a HUGE WWF fan when I was a little kid(Hogan was the MAN), and then from about ‘97-2003(the Attitude era), but with The Rock gone and WWE becoming the HHH Show, I’ve stopped watching. That said, I might give this flick a shot just to relive when pro wrestling was actually pretty entertaining.
This was filmed at a CZW show in the ECW arena actually
They are taking this all along the east coast filming at indy wrestling shows.
its great for the wrestlers who can try to get into SAG now and maybe get some benfits
As a Darren Aronofsky fan and a former WWF (fuck ‘E’) fan (stopped watching WWE in 2006), I found it very interesting a few months ago that the director would choose to do a wrestling movie. From what I have heard and seen, I am now really looking forward for this.
On a side note, I like how they are letting independent promotions like CZW get involved with the production. Btw, the guy getting hit with glass is a wrestler named the Necro Butcher, and trust me, that guy is a fuckin’ hardcore nightmare against his opponents!
I dont like wrestling, but I love Aronovsky. This movie looks insane!

I cant wait, heres hoping my profession finally gets a good movie. I have faith in this one. Rourke looks perfect as the road burned wrestler!
It was cool to see Necro Butcher in the footage! That guy is truly hardcore.
It’s got to be better than Nacho Libre. That shit was weak
damn that clip is LOUD!
